Pro-Russians storm Odessa police station, free dozens of detainees

Pro-Russian militants stormed an Odessa police station, releasing more than 60 activists that were detained during the violence that led to people being burnt alive in the trade union building set fire. They began destroying the building two days after the blaze killed over 40 pro-Russian activists in the blaze. The building that had been burned down had been occupied by pro-Kiev groups.

Odessa police said 67 activists were allowed to walk free to avoid the war to become worse. The police were even offered black and orange ribbons insinuating the revolt.

**Will be interesting to see how the reaction will turn out.
